The Pierre Vervloesem Group at Freakshow Artwork Festival (30 September)
The freaking cool Pierre Vervloesem group will be present at the Freakshow Artwork Festival in Würzburg !
The non-commercial music initiative FreakShow Würzburg, supported by the non-profit association GALERIE 03, has been bringing top-class performers of jazz and avant-rock, zeuhl, jazzmetal, chamber rock, as well as retroprog bands together with young and/or unknown names of progressive rock music on stage for more than 17 years.
Over the years, the scene has gained a reputation far beyond the borders of Würzburg as a forum for high-quality music beyond the mass trends of rock and pop.
The FreakShow Würzburg feels very attached to the ideal of curiosity for 'the unheard' and therefore strives to always keep an open ear for new things, especially for the more oblique and complex ramifications of progressive rock.

Didier Laloy Symphonic at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni in Castelfidardo (30 September)
Didier Laloy will perform at PIF 2022 with clarinettist Fabrizio Meloni and The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak
Didier Laloy discovered the accordion from the age of 13 and from there he became recognized as one of the most active representatives of the renaissance of the diatonic accordion in Europe. Over the years he has defined his style through the “freedom of creation”, which consists in following his personal needs and, above all, in bringing his audience to places still unknown. He has collaborated with many talented artists both on the Belgian and international scene, also carrying out personal projects.
On the clarinet there will be Fabrizio Meloni, first solo clarinet of the Orchestra del Teatro and Filarmonica della Scala since 1984. Fabrizio has toured in the United States and Israel with the Italian Wind Quintet. With the Nuovo Quintetto Italiano he has actively toured in South America and South East Asia. His concert tour in Japan with P. Moll and I Solisti della Scala was met with enthusiastic acclaim from audiences and critics. He has numerous recordings to his credit.
The Calabria Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Volodymyr Runchak will accompany the two musicians throughout the performance.

DUPLEX : Première Mondiale à au Centre Culturel de Dinant le 25 septembre 2021 à 20h00
DUPLEX est la rencontre de 2 musiciens renommés de la scène belge, Didier Laloy (accordéon diatonique) et Damien Chierici (violon).
C’est aussi la rencontre de 2 générations et de 2 univers musicaux différents qui au départ n’étaient pas forcément appelés à se croiser un jour.
Didier a un background des musiques traditionnelles/world et est reconnu pour avoir apporté un renouveau à l’accordéon diatonique au niveau international.
Damien, lui, est issu de la foisonnante et créatrice mouvance de la scène «pop/rock» liégeoise.
En mars 2020, le temps du COVID-19 est arrivé et a poussé les artistes à se réinventer et explorer de nouveaux horizons.
L’occasion était belle pour eux deux de se lancer dans une nouvelle aventure musicale et de créer DUPLEX où ils fusionnent leurs influences saupoudrées de world, d’electro-pop et d'ambiances cinématographiques.
Un carnet de voyages rêvés, surréalistes et fantasmés à la sauce belge fait de rencontres multicolores et de saveurs épicées.
Afin de compléter le casting du groupe, ils emmènent dans leurs bagages les supers musiciens que sont Olivier Cox (batterie) et Quentin Nguyen (claviers).
